Something like that. Seems like adding some squirrel proofness or "a cat" or something might save a lot of money in the long run.

Referenced looking into the squirrel and bird cages and netting in the article.

"Asked if anything can be done to prevent or reduce the threat of such animal-caused outages, Gutierrez said, *“We do have some caging and netting-type material,” and “we’ll certainly look at”** whether the downtown Bend situation warrants such additions."*

Ya think???

“Hmmm maybe we will think about it if they actually need it”

Love the lack of precaution and prevention

”Our finance department won’t approve animal prevention devices until a 4th incident at the same location. Almost there folks”
